This month we've been collecting winter clothing items for the needy. My office has felt like Santa's workshop! I've had piles and piles of coats, hats and gloves! While it was messy and crowded in here, it warmed my heart. The generosity of the good people of this neighborhood is truly inspiring!
Tonight was my deadline for donations so I can drop the items off tomorrow. With the help of Tanner and Russ, I sorted and counted everything.
Here is what we collected:
36 pair of gloves/mittens
11 scarves
68 coats/jackets
120 hats
1 pair of boots
1 pair of ski pants
3 pair of socks
That makes a grand total of 236 items! Wow! In addition, 2 huge boxes of women's clothing was also donated!
My heart is so full of gratitude and love. The spirit of giving, the spirit of Christmas is truly alive and well here in our little neighborhood! Thank you all so much!
Merry Christmas!
